If you're trying to make the most out of your new pickup truck, you're going to end up putting those RAM tires of yours to the test. They can still last a long time though, especially if you take proper care of them. The mechanics here at Heritage Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM Owings Mills can help.
Here are some ways to keep your tires in top shape.
Tire Rotations
A tire rotation removes your tires and installs them back onto your vehicle in different positions. This can help all four tires wear down more evenly, extending their lifespans.
This is especially important if you're driving a RAM truck with a 4x2 drivetrain since the two rear tires can wear down at a faster rate than the front two tires.
Wheel Alignments
If you hit a big bump and notice that your ride feels a bit off, you might need a wheel alignment. Not only will a wheel alignment make your ride more comfortable, but it can also help ensure that your tires don't wear down at an uneven rate.
A bad alignment can also damage your suspension and other components, so scheduling a wheel alignment at our RAM service center is a good idea for many reasons.
Checking the Tire Pressure
Keeping your tires properly inflated can also help them last longer. When your tires are under-inflated or over-inflated, they can wear down unevenly.
That shortens their lifespan, which means that you'll end up having to pay for replacements earlier than anticipated. Keeping your tires properly inflated also improves your gas mileage and your ride quality.
